children were looking forward to a summer filled with joy. They planned
to play football, head to the beach and attend summer camp.</p>
<p>But over the course of three horrific days, Israeli forces unleashed a
wave of air strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip, killing 48people,
including the 17 children, and wounding at least 360 others.</p>
<p>"There is no safe space in the Gaza Strip for Palestinian children
and their families and they increasingly bear the brunt of Israel’s
repeated military offensives," Ayed Abu Eqtaish, the accountability
programme director at the NGO Defence for Children International -
Palestine (DCIP), <a href="https://www.dci-palestine.org/israeli_airstrike_kills_5_year_old_palestinian_girl_in_gaza" target="_blank">said</a> in a statement.</p>
<p>While a ceasefire came into effect on Sunday following an agreement brokered by <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/egypt" target="_blank">Egypt</a>, Palestinians have lamented the devastating bombing campaign as more details emerge of those who died.</p>
<p>The Israeli army has claimed that some of the civilian casualties
were killed by misfired rockets, without providing
independently-verified evidence. The Palestinian health ministry says
all of the people killed, including the 17 children, died as a result of
Israeli air strikes.</p>
<p>Some families have been willing to share their stories, while others
have been in a state of mourning and have asked for privacy.</p>
<p>Here are the names and faces of the children that died:</p>
<h3>Alaa Abdullah Qaddoum, aged five</h3>
